BlackBerry won't reboot!

I rebooted my BlackBerry Curve 8520 yesterday and its now stuck reloading. I pulled the battery out and tried again and it gets stuck loading about 2/3 of the way through the bar. I've connected it to the computer to try and update the software through Desktop Manager but after clicking on update the "checking for BlackBerry Device Software Updates Please Wait" message is there permanently and nothing appears to be happening. I tried updating the software through the website but the same problem is happening - it seems to be stuck checking for updates. So at the moment my BlackBerry is out of action. Is there a way out of this?

Oh I did update the software a few weeks ago through Desktop Manager if that helps - I don't know what system i'm currently using though.

Blackberry Playbook won't reboot

Hi there,
I wonder if you can help me. I have a problem with my playbook as it won't reboot. When I switch it on the red button coms up and all seems to be working fine. However after about 1 minute of rebooting, the playbook switches off. Can you please help.

This darn thing WON'T TURN ON! No lights come on or anything either.
Connect to your known good wall outlet charger.
Leave it connected for several hours.. even 24 hours.
Every 4-5 hours WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED, press and hold down the power button for 20 seconds.
If you see any LED red or yellow activity, that is good. LEAVE it to continue to charge.
REPEAT this: Every 4-5 hours WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED, press and hold down the power button for 20 seconds.

My Torch 9800 won't reboot

I have tried several times to reboot my Torch and it won't reboot. I have removed the battery but the reboot only goes a short way then stops. What else can I do?

Have you recently upgraded or downloaded any application to the device?

Help! My Mac mini won't reboot

Hi. I posted yesterday (in the Safari forum) concerning a problem I was having with Safari 3.0.4 after updating to 10.4.11. Basically, it wouldn't run. Anyway, I did a bunch of searches on the Web (including this forum) to try to figure out what to do. One piece of advice was to move System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.frameworkapplicationservices.fram ework to the desktop.
Well, I did that, and things started acting weird. I tried to copy it back, but the process just seemed to hang. So, I did what I thought was obvious but was apparently a bad idea: I rebooted. Guess what--now my Mac won't reboot. I just get a perpetual hourglass.
I tried doing repairs with Disk Utility, but that didn't fix the problem. I also did a superfluous Hardware Check from the same OS disk, and that turned out normal.
So, what's the solution? A visit to my friendly Apple dealer for some service? Or am I just permanently hosed with no recourse? Please let me know what I can do. Thanks!

Sadly Apple stores are rarely set up for the purpose of completing backups and securing data, so that's not something you can rely on them to do. Some Apple approved service providers are better equipped for doing this, but in the end, it's not a good (or comfortable) proposition to trust your data to anyone else, and the more important that data, the less good, (or comfortable) it is if you have to.
The risk of data loss is relatively small in this situation - particularly if you ran 'repair disk' from disk utility and it reported no errors. That generally would indicate the drive is healthy and there are no indications of damaged data or file structures. Still there is always a risk!
In your situation, if I were faced with the knowledge that I was going to be buying an external drive for future backups, I'd be inclined to buy it now (selecting a firewire-connected hard drive of at least the same, if not much larger capacity than the internal), and then run Disk Utility again, this time (carefully) selecting the external drive, partitioning it under the Apple scheme, then formatting it (MacOS Extended (journaled) and then installing MacOS on it from your 10.3 installer. After that, I'd boot to it by holding down the option key during startup, then selecting the external drive from the list that (after a couple of minutes) should appear. Then the internal drive will be mounted on the desktop under the external which has booted the system. That will give you to option to copy your iPhoto and iTunes libraries to the external drive, and thus secure your data.
Once that's done, you can reboot to the install disk and basically even erase and install, because your data is safe on the external drive!
After the internal is set up again, and fully updated, it then becomes a simple matter of moving your data back to it, and then erasing the external once more, and setting up your backups with SuperDuper! or CCC.
It might sound like a bit of messing about, but that would keep your data safe in your own hands!

MacBook Pro won't reboot. Get spinning circle even after hard drive replaced at Apple Store

MacBook Pro won't reboot. Have to reinstall OSX each time I shut down in order to get it to start up. What could be wrong? I had the hard drive replaced already.

You shouldn't be using the disc at all. I thought I had made that clear. Boot from your recovery partition and run Disc Utility. If you get the same result -- the internal drive can't be repaired -- then you should consider replacing it. No storage device can be trusted, in my opinion, after throwing an error like that. But whether you choose to replace it or erase it, you have to get the data out first.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Camera on my blackberry won't open

Hi. I need help. The camera on my blackberry won't open. It says "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again." I have already closed the applications, tried to reset the settings, remove battery but still the camera won't open.

I've had a nokia as my primary phone for the better part of a decade and the E71x is my first smart phone. I've only had it a matter of days, but I've found the same problems with the camera as described above. I've found two ways to fix/avoid the problem.
First: Just turn the phone off and restart. In other words, all applications using the camera are terminated.
Second: This is where I believe the problem is. The phone was designed to multitask. If you hold the home (house button) down you can toggle between open applications. This is much like holding alt and pushing the tab button on a standard windows pc. The inherent problem is that the camera function WHEN CLOSED IMPROPERLY is no longer accessible or recognized by the firmware. In other words, if you just push the red/'end call' button to exit your camera session you will run into this problem. The SOLUTION is that you MUST exit the camera operation EACH TIME. Note: If you start using your 'multitask' button you will find how this applies to all the programs we're used to on nokia phones. So, as annoying as it is, while you are in the OPERATIONAL camera mode, push your soft left button (topmost left) to access the options menu. Select your options and scroll to exit. If you EXIT THE CAMERA MODE PROPERLY the phone will no longer consider it a running program. THIS IS A GLITCH. In the end it is a good habit to terminate programs that are not in use, but the problem with the camera access is testiment to firmware problems that we are more than likely not going to see a fix for. This is a good phone and I've never been unsatisfied with owning a nokia, but this particular problem seems like an oversight in firmware. With proper application closing in mind, you should never run into any major problems with this phone. But like I've said, I've only had it a matter of days.

MSI Z87I Won't Reboot or Shut DOwn

My new system won't shut down or reboot from the OS (Ubuntu 14.04) or from the BIOS settings, i.e. Settings -> Save & Exit -> Save Changes and Reboot will not reboot the system. All my peripherals will turn off, but the fans stay on and the only way to power off the system is to long-hold the power switch on the front of the case or turn off the power at the PSU.
There is ONE case in which the system will reboot. If I go to Settings -> Save & Exit, choose "Restore Defaults" and then select "Save Changes and Reboot," the system will reboot one time, but it won't reboot or shut down after this.
I'm already on my second MoBo since I thought it was a MoBo issue.
Specs:
SSD: Patriot Pyro 60GB
Memory: 2x PNY 4GBH2X02E99927-16-H
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 LGA1150
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 500W
I've tried reseating the MoBo as well as testing it outside of the case with no luck.

Ah, thanks! Got it.
It looks to me like that is a different link to the same program, as when I downloaded it I got 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer(1).rar' as the filename, since I had just downloaded 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer.rar' from the link I posted (or perhaps from a page pointed to by that page, I've already forgotten where I got it...)
I notice that the '180' file has a batch file that runs 'fpt'. Am I supposed to run that batch file, or run 'efiflash bios.bin'? (Or both if this is the first time I've flashed the motherboard)

em nope, its the same program. (1) is auto renamed because the same name was already existing in your download folder

no need to run anything
just let the tool to prepare the USB key then boot from it
when this menu appear select option 2:
1 Run Memtest
2 Proceed with BIOS Update
3 Flash back to prevision bios
then press any key after read some safety instructions
then when asked if you want to Run Memtestx86, answer with "N"
then flash will start and will be asked for reboot when its done
you no need to type or run anything manually, its tottaly automated

Older mac mini won't reboot from Install DVD?

I've passed on my 2006 era mac mini to my daughter. We can't seem to get to a factory settings because it won't reboot from the install DVD. It keeps cycling through to the normal reboot.

Could be damaged disks.
BestBuy sells disk repair kits.
But for about the same price as disk repair kit, you could call 1-800-676-2775 and give them the unit serial number and pay shipping/handling fee for replacement.
Assuming it is bad disks.

Clustered Oracle VM server 2.1.2 won't reboot or hangs

Has anyone experience with clustered Oracle VM servers 2.1.2 seem to be hang or won't reboot until the server is power reset?
Every time I reboot the master pool server, the server seems to be hung or won't reboot. To solve this problem I have to power reset the server or reboot the other server in the server pool or vice versa. This is not what I wanted. What do i need to do to have a smooth reboot of master server pool without reboot the other server in the server pool?
Thank you in advance.

Toshiba Tecra M1 - Won't reboot

Hello @ll
This is my first post on this forum. I write from poland, so forgive me for my poor english.
I have a problem with my old laptop (Toshiba Tecra M1). Computer won't reboot. After the Arch installation everything was fine, command init 6 was working correctly. When I was doing installs and configurations (adds daemon's to rc.conf, modifying fstab, install KDEmod etc.) i was rebooting system to see how it works. I don't know when, but after 3th, maybe 4th reboot system won't boot. I can see the screen which contains information about closing daemons, but after this listing I can see only black screen, computer stops and nothing happens.
Thanks for any advices

On this virtual way nobody can say for sure what the problem is. As Joe already wrote it is hardware related issue and it should be checked by technicians. Fact is that this Tecra M1 is pretty old notebook model (I had it 8 years ago) so I think repair is not a option.

My Ipad 2 won't reboot. the little circle keeps going round but the buttons don't work. help please.

My Ipad 2 won't reboot. The little circle keeps going round but that's all, it won't boot. nothing happens when I press the button on the top either. Please help.

After you hold the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears (ignore the red slider to shut down) then let go of both buttons and you don't need to do anything else. Your iPad will restart all by itself. Just be patient, but leave your iPad alone after the Logo appears.

Macbook pro won't reboot after installing lion

After installing Lion on a 2007 MacBook pro, it won't reboot. Just gets to the gray screen with the spinning wheel. Have tried re-installing and disk repair to no avail. Anyone else figured out how to fix?

Lion only runs on Intel based systems which have to be core2duo. with a minimum of 2GB RAM.
If these is given on your system, in most cases it comes from running old PPC-Applications which are not longer supported since Lion.
Try to start your MB in "Safe Mode" by holding option key (alt) imediately after first chime and disable / delete this applications.

MacBook Pro won't reboot after Lion update

I have updated my new MacBook Pro (2.3GHz I7 15"), and everything seemed to be working fine. Something was chugging away at the system resources when I was away from my computer and when I came back, I decided to reboot the system.
Now all that will happen is boot up to the Apple logo and spin the little grey circle, for an hour! I don't know what to do, help my computer is useless!
I have booted into the recovery partition and repaired permissions, but it did not help. Anyone have any ideas?
